Members of the Boise City Council are (back, L-R) council members TJ Thomson, Ben Quintana, Lauren McLean, Scot Ludwig (front, L-R) Council Pro Tem Elaine Clegg, Mayor David H. Bieter and Council President Maryanne Jordan.

The Mayor works full-time, managing the day-to-day operations of the City and providing leadership and policy direction to the City Council. The Mayor chairs all meetings of the City Council, voting only in the case of a tie. The six members of the City Council work part-time, holding budget and policy-setting authority for the city. The Mayor and City Council members are elected at large by popular vote. City Council members are elected to a specific Council seat, but the seats are not determined geographically. City elections are held in odd number years (e.g. 2007, 2009, 2011).

Boise Police were called Monday morning,
June 27th by an employee of a business who deals in second hand
goods. The employee was wary that items being brought in for sale
were stolen. The employee told officers the store had received a
call from a citizen earlier that morning describing golf clubs just
discovered stolen from a vehicle in the Surprise Valley
neighborhood of East Boise. The store clerk recognized the golf
clubs brought in by the suspects as matching the description of the
stolen clubs. Officers arrived at the store and found the two
suspects, identified as Simmons and Boike, still on scene, and also
in possession of several baseball bats, a GPS unit and a pair of
high-end sunglasses. Those items had also been reported stolen from
a vehicle in the same East Boise neighborhood overnight. The
suspects were arrested and booked into the Ada County Jail on the
above charges.

Investigating officers say there's
evidence the vehicles were left unlockedovernight when the items
were taken.

Boise Police were called at 12:48 this
morning to a fight at a home near N. Orchard St & Franklin
Road. When officers arrived, they found the suspect, Sanders, and
another adult female outside the home. A second female was still
inside. After investigating, officers found evidence the suspect,
Sanders, had come to the home and an argument began. Sanders is
accused of hitting one of the women who were at the home with a
metal rod (aggravated battery), and of hitting the second victim
(misdemeanor battery). She's also accused of throwing an iron and
damaging the windshield of one of the victim's vehicles. Officers
called paramedics and one victim was hospitalized following the
altercation for an unrelated medical condition. The suspect was
booked into the Ada County jail on the above charges.

Boise Police were called by the parent
of a teenager late last night asking officers to help find the teen
who apparently had been left on the side of the road by the
suspect. Officers quickly located the teen on Federal Way. She told
officers she'd driven to pick up the suspect to take her home
because the suspect had been drinking. While in the car, the victim
says, the suspect hit and pushed her trying to take control of the
vehicle. The teen driver got out of the car and the suspect began
to drive, headed straight toward the teen, who told officers she
had to get out of the way to avoid being hit (agg assault). The
owner of the car says the suspect did not have permission to be
driving the vehicle (grand theft). Officers soon found the suspect
had abandoned the car and was walking a short distance away. She
failed field sobriety tests and blew a .255/.253 BAC at the Ada
County jail.
